KDM has 'issues' reading /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc configuration files from older versions of kdm, so just to make sure that your problem isn't in this category, it would be good to purge and reinstall KDM 3.4 (you can of course backup the old kdmrc first). Also, if you have any systems/chroots where you're feeling daring, could you see if the problem occurs using KDM 3.5 from experimental? I've tried to reproduce the problem using the KDE 3.5 chroot I'm running over the holidays. The Alt key does seem to be messed up, but I can type the (non-Hebrew) username and password and log in. Note that I installed kde-i18n-he, ran dpkg-reconfigure locales to add the Hebrew locales, and then used the KDE Control Centre's kdm configuration module to set the language to Hebrew. If you're doing something different, let me know. I'll be able to try again on a KDE 3.4 system in a week or so.
